Great value for money
(4 out of 5) by Ariel Cohen on May 11, 2002 (NY, USA)I found this model to be great value for money. It can play DVDs, VCDs, CDs, CD-RW (i.e. burned CDs) as well as MP3 files. It can also convert PAL to NTSC and NTSC to PAL on any TV, which enables you to watch foreign movies. Since it has 110-220 power coversion, you can use it anywhere in the US, Europe and Israel. It also has a secret menu that allows you to play movies from every DVD region number (look on the web, you'll find it...).
The downside: seems like the production quality of these machines is problematic. The first unit I got did not work properly. I returned it with no problems, and the one I have now works great.
Overall - a great buy, a fully load machine.

Poor picture quality on this player.
(1 out of 5) by George S. Mendez on May 22, 2004 (Phoenix, AZ United States)Avoid this DVD player. Picture quality on this machine was substandard, I would not recommend this machine to anyone unless you enjoy getting angry and frustrated. In other words skip this one.

Avoid This Player
(1 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Mar 5, 2004In addition to turning on the subtitles every time you start a new DVD, pause, skip or go back in a playing dvd, now mine has stopped working entirely. It cannot even pick up on a disk to read it. It seems like a great value, but it is money down the drain.

Problematic from day one
(2 out of 5) by Duncan Dwyer on May 23, 2003 (Portland, ME United States)This is a terrible DVD player. My sister-in-law and I both received one for Christmas, and neither of ours work properly. Hers simply failed to work, and then her replacement stopped working after two months. Mine works, but apparently overheats. After about a half hour of use, the movies drag and/or skip and are virtually unwatchable. If you can spend a few extra bucks to get a better system, do so. It will save you a world of frustration.

Thankfully it was a Christmas present
(1 out of 5) by jason on Feb 8, 2003 (North Carolina)I received the unit for Christmas in December of 2001. During the time I used it (approximately 40-50) total hours I was pleased. It had lots of features and was relatively inexpensive. After twelve months, however, the unit has stopped working. There has been no abuse, power surges, etc. It just plain quit. Considering the relatively small amount of use this unit endured, this is totally unacceptable to me. I would NOT recommend this unit due to the poor quality and reliability.
